Suite napoletana. Storie, controstorie e altre storie

From ancient rulers to the martyrs of failed revolutions, from miraculous saints to Madonnas to whom we can entrust our hearts, all the way to Pino Daniele and Maradona. A nostalgic postcard of the past, or a Kairos suspended in a time forcibly held back, to offer a spectacle of fascinating decadence. In this slim volume, Pietro Treccagnoli collects a series of writings that compose a seemingly fragmented discourse on Naples, yet in reality unified by a nonconformist reading of a city that loves to laugh and cry over its own fate, torn between Pulcinella and Calimero. A city that nevertheless knows well when to don the mask that best suits its self-representation and when it's time to step off the stage.
